OUR TV Movie Theaters - WHY?
They are not "OUR" movie theaters, The Morse family owns them. Pretty sure they book the movies in a way that is most profitable for them.
I would like to see at all (or any) of the theaters offer premium seating, where the seats are essentially love seat recliners with a drink tray in the middle. Have seating for maybe 30 people. Make the cost of this seating twice the cost of regular admission. They will still sellout!
Invest in a 4k TV and a nice couch. Your scenario of a 30 seat theater would probably require ticket prices of $150 each due to economics, reduced popcorn revenue etc. Or you could build such a theater yourself and see how it works out financially.
Read the entire story and it makes sense why they do this.

Obviously nobody bothered to read your link, which explains why a capitalist would book films in a particular way at different theaters
Basically the longer the "run" of a movie at a theater, the higher the profit margin goes up for the owner. So putting your movies with longer staying power at smallest theater makes cents.
